§ 7.92.060. License requirements—Adult motion picture arcades.  


Latest version.
  • An adult motion picture arcade which provides more than one viewing area shall conform to all of the requirements previously set forth in this chapter and shall also conform to the following additional requirements:

    A.

    The application for an adult business license shall be accompanied by a diagram of the interior of the premises showing a plan thereof specifying the location of one or more manager's stations, specifying the location of all overhead lighting fixtures and designating any portion of the premises in which patrons will not be permitted. A manager's station may not exceed 32 square feet of floor area with no dimension greater than eight feet. The diagram shall also designate the place at which the adult business license will be conspicuously posted. A professionally prepared diagram in the nature of an engineer's or architect's blueprint shall not be required; however, each diagram shall be oriented to the north or to some designated street or object and shall be drawn to a designated scale with marked dimensions sufficient to show the various internal dimensions of all areas of the interior of the premises to an accuracy of plus or minus six inches. The tax collector shall waive the foregoing diagram for renewal applications if the owner adopts the diagram that was previously submitted and certifies that the configuration of the premises has not been altered since that diagram was prepared.

    No alteration in the configuration of the premises from the diagram submitted with the application for an adult business license may be made without the prior approval of the tax collector, who shall insure that the configuration requirements of this section continue to be met.

    B.

    The interior of the premises shall be configured in such a manner that there is an unobstructed view from a manager's station of every area of the premises to which any patron is permitted access for any purpose, including the interior of individual viewing areas, but excluding rest rooms. If the premises has two or more manager's stations designated, then the interior of the premises shall be configured in such a manner that there is an unobstructed view of each area of the premises to which any patron is permitted access for any purpose, excluding restrooms, from at least one of the manager's stations. The view required in this subsection must be by direct line of sight from the manager's station.

    C.

    It is the duty of the owner(s) to insure that at least one manager is on duty and situated at each manager's station at all times that any patron is present inside the premises, and such manager shall be licensed as required by Section 7.92.050P of this chapter and be familiar with the requirements of this chapter and shall enforce all rules and regulations in order to ensure that the business complies with this chapter.

    D.

    It is the duty of the owner(s) and it is also the duty of all employees present on the premises to insure that the view specified in subsection B of this section remains unobstructed by any door, wall, curtain, two-way mirror, person, merchandise, display rack or other material at all times and to insure that no patron is permitted access to any area of the premises which has been designated as an area in which patrons will not be permitted in the diagram filed pursuant to subsection A of this section.
